AUCKLAND, Today: Augusto has launched a Firstgas Zero Carbon Future campaign running this month across TV, billboards, digital, social, print and press.
In creating the message of their goal to deliver 100% zero carbon gas in pipelines by 2050, Firstgas required a creative campaign to explain what their vision will mean for everyday Kiwis.
Firstgas Group marketing manager Wendy Rayman said: “We’ve been a company that has always thrived behind the scenes. But after discovering our pipelines can safely transport hydrogen, we’ve been itching to explain what zero carbon gas will actually mean for New Zealanders.”
Augusto ECD Adam Thompson embraced the challenge: “We were over the moon that Wendy and the team at Firstgas Group wanted a campaign to connect with Kiwis, that went beyond your standard PSA.
“It’s a complicated process, but Augusto have helped us develop a simple message to Aotearoa – that gas is changing.”
“This was an exciting opportunity to help announce some really big news about the positive future of gas in New Zealand. We wanted to engage and reassure Kiwis in a playful and more relatable way that the gas they’ve always relied on to power Kiwi culture and the things they love is changing for the better. And better still they can help change the world without actually having to do too much”.
Rayman applauded Augusto’s ability to develop a simple message and showcase it in a fun and engaging way. “While we will soon be mixing hydrogen into our pipelines, we are still exploring other sources such as biogas and bioLPG,” he said.
“It’s a complicated process behind the scenes, but Augusto have helped us develop a simple message to Aotearoa – that gas is changing, so you don’t have to.”
